Closed Caption Problem

Possible Remedy

My TV is showing captions that are
misspelled.

My TV will not show the text in its entirety
or there is a delay of what is being said.

My captions are scrambled with white boxes
on the TV screen.

My program guide listed a TV show as being
closed captioned but none of the captions
were displayed.

My prerecorded videotape does not show any
captions. The tape box mentions it being
closed captioned.

My TV screen shows a black box on certain
channels.

You are watching a live broadcast and spelling errors made by the
closed captioning production company may pass through uncorrected. A
prerecorded program will not show any misspelled words because of the
normal time available for editing the captions.

Captions that are delayed a few seconds behind the actual dialogue are
common for live broadcasts. Most captioning production companies can
display a dialogue to a maximum of 220 words per minute. If a dialogue
exceeds that rate, selective editing is used to insure that the captions
remain up-to-date with the current TV screen dialogue.

Interference caused by building, power lines, thunderstorms, etc. may
cause scrambled or incomplete captions to appear.

Broadcasters may at times use a time compression process to the actual
program so that additional advertising time can be given. Since the
decoder cannot read the compressed information, captions will be lost.

The videotape was either an illegal copy or the tape duplicating
company accidentally left out the captioning signals during the copying
process.

You are in the TEXT mode. Select CAPTION mode or CAPTION
[OFF].

The LCD panel is manufactured to provide many years of useful life. Occasionally a few non active pixels
may appear as a tiny spec of color. This in not to be considered a defect in the LCD screen.
